The Honourable Member closed his state- ' went by the sum of 123,0001. for the thiteoceol the b e n Coast of Ireland. • The following sums were then Voted : :-For del raying the expellee o f t he Oidnauce at Great , ~ britain . . . a 50,3661. General TAELETON here rose. He would ask of the Hon. Memb er w h at was t h e present state of qte 'PO's, and in what situation they had been in tor, 101n0 time back. He could not confine himself to . 'This question alone ; he would go 'farther, and en. quire into the military operations of the last cam- PtUgn, As it was the privilege, so it was the lioun :. •detS duty of every Member in that House, to-make , ' laelS enquires. ~ He would, however, confine him self, 'to the Military enterprises of the last twelve, rounihs. If the Right Hon. Secretary at Warcould give any satistaCtory 'reasons wiiy a regiment should be absalUfely thcoWts,itWify, he wo v. ling to hear him. That this was the-ease in the disposition of the 21st and 17th -regiments of light dragoons he . ~ . iloniended. Toe for Mer regiment, previous to ibeir 11431 embarkation .for India, were sent to the Cape . .as a ,preparat ion for India Seri/ice.

Th us was a effective corps left behind at the Cape,: for no ,r Motive that he could discern, but t o guar d it iis 4 lhat the . Hottentots. He could not help olention big this preposterous disposition. The Honourable Member would next ask why we had such a large • 111 iffsh fo rce remaining inactive, - and pet i t up'in the ' F urth of 'America, and what reason could be as. • signed why this force delayed its operations against the French West India Islands, until the etoeiny had actually thrown in minion:totems to Guatla. loupe and Dominique. It required 'wale ingenuity to explain the cause of such a force being useless, io • YOrtfl America, when it -might have 'struck a fatal blow at the enemy in his West India Islands. Thus have we unforttinatelY lost the' glorious opportunity iSf excluding hint eternally from that. quarter. But : : this was not Fall, there were' other points which ~. Would afford 'cause of - dissatisfaaloa -much nearer home. E t , alluded to the operations of our army in Spain ansi Portugal. He would insist that a tat a l • ' mot had hem committed in the fitting out of et- • 1 iibruinished with Why were not the Of st light dragoon's sent out oii such a servicet• as that Of Spain,. instead' of being tlittered awaY-at :the Cape? From the ehiiraaer and ondutt'bf that :eol-p§, he had no cionbc'hut they would have covered theniselves with glory: But be woold'itote view the progress of stir °perk ions in those countries.--(Here the Honourable Member went into a detailed view all the circnrustances attendingi the catripaigns'in Spain and Portugal, but adduced nothing noVel upon that subject.) , r 7 The SECRETARY at Wsku, in answer,' said; that the'etnbarkation of the 17th regiment fur India, Mid the debarkation of the 9,lst at the Cape; seemed. to .him to answer any. end required, a. well as if the latter had gone diieetly tbrward, and the fOrtner: re mained.behind:at the:Cape. Gen. TARLETOt4 explained. Sir. A. WELLESLEY, alter. sorrie:preparatory ob servations, informed, the gallant • General, that 'it was, impossible any operations could have been suc cessfully undertaken against the French' West Indies, until the great-rains had ceased, which d:d not in general happen to be the case .before the month of October,. at which time operations were"atttially set on foot for the purpOse. With.respeet to the gallant General's remarks on the expeditions to • Spain and Portugal, he would vindicate the Conduit, - ef. Mi r nisters• in not having sent out klarget body of t Ugh , ry, as theih original plan was to carry 4 on a coar s e 1-. of operations . on'theTagus.• It was hb - -'hirnsell Who 'changed that 'plan to Mondego Bay, - alid therefore ' he must assume the responsibility on that• The latt• was, that - he expected to be joined by a !.•censiilerable•hody . of Partntkiese cavalry. • It. answer to an' assertion of the Hon. and 'Gallant General, namely, the impossibility of the French • crossing the Tagus, he would .beg lease to differ. At was 'op pareiWtti him, and most of the Officers on the Court of inquiry, 'that subsequent to the battle of the 2 ist, ircould h a ve beety with ease accomplished. He had delivered his e pinion to Sir H. Beriard, and he be lieved, that if atter the defeat of the enelny'on that day, they had been pursued, we should have had a ditferent termitiation to the affair. He aided in this was, froin.being aware of the high situation he had the honour to stand in, so tar as that •he possessed the confidence ot•tbe army. Of the Convention he would say, oat though he approved of the princi ples* upon which it :was founded, yet 'he totally übjeeteitto the low tone in which they were con veyed-, and particularly so as he did not think it warranted by the relative situation of the armies.,--- He then Male a testy remarks on the Spanish opera tions;:and the British line of retreat ; from any lit ' potations in the disasters of whicn he acquitted his Majesty's Ministers, Upon the whole 'he iv adc rely able reply. General TA - It L ETON, in allusion to the gallant General's expectation from the Port t.luese cavalry, said, that about nine ye 'r ago, he was sent over. to Portugal to drill their cavalry 'forces ; but how did they receive him ? ThLy,saidAheircay.dry was a fine body, each company was a very good ihnig, producing 6001, a year—and how ? by letting out the horses to hackney coaches . -fur hire ; and then all then , manozAvres weie performed m harness. In God's haute, what advantage could be derived !roar the assistance given by such cavalry as this Mr. WurriatiAD made stinte 7 remarks on what fell arum a.gailant General. (Sir A. Wellesley.), He conceived that Sir H. Burraul was baldly treated. no cotitidencu was reposed in him, yet he was made relmhsible. The gallant General Jaislr ed w press upon him what seemed .10 him to be right— Yet alter all Sir Harty Buirard was un acquainted, with the confidence which Ministers ptaced in Sir Arthur. He cui..cluded by ob,erv ing, that it was his belief the gallant General did not mean any uniavonrabie impression :should be made with respect to Sir H. Burrs:ll ; he conceiv ed he would be the last man "in the universe, that would act so. .lVlr. CALcunfr Wished to know how the increase of 10,0001. ior this year, and 12,0001. fur the list, took place in the ordnance estimates. He would also inquire int., the expenditure of the sums,tOr new works at Plymouth, and the, Woolwich i and Chatham Decks ; and of the sums voted 14 forJign service - , including the small arms sent to Spam.-- Hire he could not suppress the mention of a curious circumstance, that Gentlemen who , ham bevu ou official business in that country have not obwrved those arms in the people's hands. In tact, the ge neral cry has been all along, that they wanted arms .very much. In bis opinion it was impossible they had been delivered. He would wish to knew the exad amount of what had been sent. Mr. ASHLEY CooPtia stated the number of small arms sent to Spain to be 000,000 stand. For the explanation of that_ circumstance the Honourable Member had advtlrted to, he would referilim to the enemy's I sth. Bulletin, wherein it is stated, that at the capture of Madrid t eO,OOO stand had been taken. The increase in the ordnance estimates, he said, arose ftoen the enlarged proportion of artillery, and the increase of pensions in that dePartment . ol 13 or 6,ount. Lord CASTLEREAGH thought•it necessary to state to the . Continittee before they separated, that Go vernment had not only gone every length they could, in givin e r; to the- Spaniards a British army, but they had also supplied them with arms, S:c>, requisite to the; forwation.of a complete body of two hundred thousand men, which was the number Buonaparte had in contemplation rO oppoie them with. Madrid Wai pot the drily place which was made a depot for those supplies—they weredistri• buted in every point over the'peninsula.. • tie in listed that every thing possible had been done tor that country. Mr, OALC:tAITT replied. Mr...Fut.EN.NNTI.g, in the course of his remarks. adverted, to the circumstance of 40,000 stand of British small arms being found in the fortresk of Livas, alter its bUiTt:ll‘l4l* by the French to our forces. .
